International hotel brand to open first property in SA

The Radisson Red V&A Waterfront will open next year.

Carlson Rezidor will bring the Radisson Red hotel to Cape Town late next year. It will mark the first Radisson Red-branded property in Africa, Europe and the Middle East, and will be operated by the Rezidor Hotel Group.

The Radisson Red V&A Waterfront will feature 235 guest rooms, a 24/7 deli and bar, five meeting event studios, a fitness studio, rooftop swimming pool, a rooftop garden terrace and bar. It is  located within walking distance of the Cape Town Convention Centre and 20km from Cape Town International Airport.

“Following the recent Carlson Rezidor signing of the Radisson Red Shenyang Hunan in China, we are now delighted to announce the first Radisson Red in EMEA in a location as prominent as the V&A Waterfront – giving our new brand both local and global visibility in a world-class destination,” said Wolfgang M. Neumann, President and CEO of Rezidor.
